by whitecat5000 Aug 15, '11So I'm trying to create my own brain sheet for the med/surg floor that I'm working on.
When I look at different examples they have diagrams on their sheet like an X or a weird fishbone looking thing.
What are these diagrams for?
My friend said it was to write lab values like Hgb, Hct, K, Ca, Na, etc. Is that true?
I would post a link to a couple of examples but I don't know how...
Print and share with friends and family.

Aug 15, '11 by RescueNinjaCould you copy and paste the URL for the examples? Not sure what you're talking about... - Aug 15, '11 by whitecat5000I can't find a specific URL so I'll try to copy it:

Here are two examples of diagrams I've seen but don't know what they mean. -
Aug 15, '11 by tokmomYes, those are for labs.
My brain consists of things I need to remember for the shift. Labs, VS, I/O, meds, etc... -
- Nov 4, '11 by ntlunawe use these at the place I work:
It's hard to describe without drawing it but using "Whitecat 5000" diagrams:
1st diagram-
WBC >------ HGB on top and HCT on bottom of lines------< PLATELETS
2nd diagram-
----SODIUM on top, POTASSIUM on bottom in first break,----/
---CHLORIDE, CO2---in second break ----/
----BUN, CREATININE in last break-----and < GLUCOSE in the arrow tail.
Hope that makes sense. -
Aug 5, '12 by mikeicurnI have my own sheet that I use for my patients, as well as a form detailing these notes you are talking about (I have heard them them called fishbones).Last edit by Esme12 on Aug 5, '12 : Reason: TOS/self promotion
